Welcome back to the D2D universe, where every door knock is a step closer to mastery. Today, I’m thrilled to share the essence of a recent conversation that illuminated the path of relentless pursuit and the spirit of adventure in sales. My guests, Sean Bingham of Adventure Hunt and Robert Owens, a seasoned paratrooper and marathon runner, brought to the table stories that are not just about endurance but about transforming every sales pitch into an epic journey.
Sean Bingham, the mastermind behind Adventure Hunt, shared how his company crafts unforgettable team-building experiences. Imagine rewarding your sales team with a trip to Panama, where the blend of luxury and adventure at a five-star resort sets the stage for building stronger bonds and rejuvenating spirits. It’s a testament to the fact that the rewards of hard work extend beyond numbers and into experiences that last a lifetime.
Robert Owens, at 66, embodies the ethos of “age is just a number.” Participating in some of the most grueling physical challenges, including the infamous Kokoro camp designed for Navy SEALs, Robert’s journey is a masterclass in mental toughness and resilience. His stories are a vivid reminder that the real battle in sales, as in life, is waged not against competitors but within oneself, against one’s limits.

I knocked doors since I was 11! Never bought into the whole hourly normal job, and used direct sales to be the vehicle to create MASSIVE success. I Started the Direct Sales division for Solcius as their VP building it up to have 70+ sales reps nation wide. In 2018 I left to pursue a greater mission to unify and uplevel the Door to Door industry and founded the D2D Experts.
